What are the Current Projects in Oceanography for Monitoring Sea Temperatures?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the availability of ocean and sea temperature measurements, referencing a specific resource that provides valuable data on marine and ocean variables. The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is emphasized as a crucial global initiative for the observation, modeling, and analysis of these variables, aimed at enhancing operational ocean services globally. The link to the GOOS website is noted as a useful resource for further information on oceanographic projects and data.

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...

Thread 'Not a sundial - a shadow dial is what I want'

We have little shade but plenty of wind on my property. The upshot of this is that I have to be judicious in how/where I put up shade-creating barriers in various places around my property to maximise shade without unduly large windage. My property is an irregular polygon and not aligned with the cardinal axes, so it is not easy to tell where the shade will be at a given time. For example, I have put up an umbrella next to our pool, but it can only shade the southish-side of the pool, and...

Thread '(Unprecedented?) Cluster of earthquakes in Greek islands'

These last days, there is a seemingly endless cluster of rather powerful earthquakes close to the islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi, and Ios. Remember, this is a highly volcanically active region, Santorini especially being famous for the supervolcanic eruption which is conjectured to have led to the decline of the Minoan civilization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption To grasp the scale of what is happening, between the 26th of January and the 9th of February, 12000...
